The Beast of the City

Wow. Jean Harlow at the Palace: "Human lives are offered up daily to the Beast of the City Jungle, so that scented, silken-clad women can enjoy the forbidden thrills of a modern Babylon! See this heart-wrenching drama!" (Tagline courtesy of IMDB.com.)

The plot featured organized crime and compromised police officials, but the presence of Harlow brightened the proceedings. This ad ran in a May 1932 Lancaster Daily Eagle.
